    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_TV8-301

    It is notable for being the world's first non-projection type all-transistor television. It had an eight-inch screen. It was also portable, having a bay in the back for two 6-volt lead–acid batteries. It was priced high, as it was innovative in many ways, so, to the average consumer it was something of a luxury item and not a practical buy.

  3. History of display technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_display_technology

    With the advent of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), integrated circuit (IC) chips, microprocessors, and microelectronic devices, many more individual picture elements ("pixels") could be incorporated into one display device, allowing graphic displays and video.

  4. History of the transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_transistor

    The introduction of the transistor is often considered one of the most important inventions in history. [1] [2] Transistors are broadly classified into two categories: bipolar junction transistor (BJT) and field-effect transistor (FET). [3] The principle of a field-effect transistor was proposed by Julius Edgar Lilienfeld in 1925. [4]

    The elements of a simple broadcast television system are: . An image source. This is the electrical signal that represents a visual image, and may be derived from a professional video camera in the case of live television, a video tape recorder for playback of recorded images, or telecine with a flying spot scanner for the transfer of motion pictures to video).

    A generic LCD TV, with speakers on either side of the screen. Liquid-crystal-display televisions (LCD TV) are television sets that use liquid-crystal displays to produce images. LCD televisions are much thinner and lighter than CRTs of similar display size and are available in much larger sizes (e.g., 90-inch or 230-centimetre diagonal). When ...

    A high-resolution matrix LCD with required fast response (e.g. for animated graphics and/or video) necessitates integration of additional non-linear electronic elements into each picture element of the display (e.g., thin-film diodes, TFDs, or thin-film transistors, TFTs) in order to allow active matrix-addressing of individual picture elements ...
